McDonald's

For too long, we’ve been settling on breakfasts that are truly subpar. Devastatingly mediocre. Cold, frozen, crumbly, and just plain old. We, the breakfast eaters of America, need an intervention. We need something new, exciting, buttery, crispy – something that will wake up our love of breakfast once again....

Enter: McDonald’s McChicken Breakfast sandwiches. But hang on, we have to warn you. After just one bite, you can’t untaste McChicken for breakfast. Breakfast will be changed forever as you know it and there’s absolutely no turning back. So...are you ready to change your life, for breakfast?

CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR BREAKFAST

Hey…you…put down the beige, rectangley-shaped protein bar, and step away from your old breakfast life…

Because McDonald’s has a new addition to their iconic breakfast sandwich lineup, and this one is a game-changer: McCHICKEN FOR BREAKFAST. But before you take the plunge, we gotta warn you: you can’t untaste this buttery, fluffy, chicken-y baby booboo bb. With just one bite, breakfast will be changed forever as you know it.

MCCHICKEN MEDITATION

During the research phase, we came across a HARDCORE Facebook group of over 40,000 diehard McChicken stans called, “For me it is the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich.” But this wasn’t just any ol’ Facebook group, you had to prove your love of the McChicken to be admitted. So we wrote essays and prayed to the McD’s gods until we finally received that fateful notification. We were in. 

We very quickly learned that this group was going to absolutely lose their minds at the news of McChicken arriving to the breakfast menu. In fact, we were almost worried for them. So we made something to help them cope during the launch: a delicious guided meditation video to keep McChicken’s absolute biggest fans calm, happy and filled with chicken-y breakfast bliss during this very exciting time in their lives. And of course, we had to tap the voice heard across McDonald’s “Wake Up Breakfast” campaign, comedian and breakfast enthusiast Craig Robinson, to deliver the serene vocal stylings.
